The area codes tied to this part of Massachusetts split into two families. 508 and 774 are carried by many people around Worcester, to the west. 339, 781, 617, and 857 are carried by many around Boston, to the northeast. Abington sits close enough to both that either family can feel local depending on who you're calling.
Abington runs on Eastern Time, along with the rest of Massachusetts. The Boston-area codes (339, 781, 617, 857) are overlay codes for the same region, meaning several codes share one calling area instead of each town getting its own.
Massachusetts residents, like people across the country, report a steady stream of unwanted robocalls and spoofed calls to the FTC, often from telemarketers or scam callers pretending to be local. Keeping a second number for online listings and public profiles keeps that traffic off your main line.
